Because they only pay the same as McDonalds or KFC. Someone who knows or is capable of learning a broad spectrum about a multitude of products, barrel twists, actions and how they work, can explain the ins and outs of parralax, trajectories, bullet construction, powder selection, has the dexterity to install scopes properly etc, etc, is someone who is capable of getting a much higher paying job and is not going to stay long for those wages. The only hope gunshops have is hiring someone who is financially secure and enjoys guns/ hunting, dealing with the public and dosent depend on the job to pay the bills, retirees, those looking for a hobby type job or looking to supplement their income with partime work. Not too many gunshop offer salaries and benefits worth making a career out of it.
